Fun Facts

Trivia

The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "lode runner".

Remarks

Strong Bad manages to type wearing not only boxing gloves, but also the potato chip bag. He may have typed one handed like he did in tape leg, though in that email he typed with just his right hand (for a short while). If he wasn't typing with the potate bag, he must have been using his left hand. It is possible Strong Bad is ambidextrous.

It is also possible that Strong Bad may have used the Basement's second exit to reach the computer room.

When the singers on the TV stop singing, you can hear Matt Chapman saying, "That's enough, Mike."

Goofs

When Strong Bad sits down at the computer to answer his email, the reflection of his face can be seen outside of the monitor on the right side momentarily.

As Strong Bad is shown walking to the Compy after waking up, the underscore at the end of "a>_" isn't flashing like it usually would.

When Strong Sad is done placing the eggs on the table next to Strong Bad, the text on the Compy looks different. Half of it is not shown, because it is behind Strong Bad's head. (When Strong Bad types it, the "a>" is gone, and the word first paragraph is spaced differently; the second "routine" and the word "stands" are on the previous lines, there's no underscore after the lowercase "r", "rountine" is spelled correctly, and there's a period and the word "So" after the last "Mike".)

Mike, as you know, the morning
routine is the most important
routine of the day. The "R" in routine
stands for r_
So anyways, Mike, as I was saying,
The "R" in rountine stands for r
Sorry about that, Mike, the "R"

The ostrich egg should be much larger in relation to the others, as the ostrich lays the largest eggs of any living bird species. It should also be white.

The "nut-hatch" egg should be written as "nuthatch," without the hyphen.

When Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad for the last time, the left side of the monitor appears to be slightly jagged.

Real-World References

The tune playing on the TV set while Strong Bad is waking up is the theme song from Voyage of the Mimi, an educational TV show from the 1980s featuring Ben Affleck. This is probably what Strong Sad wanted to watch.

Interrupter Jones is a play on Indiana Jones, the main character of a popular series of adventure films created by George Lucas.

Fast Forward

Strong Bad's line at the beginning, "My mouth tastes like... emails," is later reused during the CGI sequence on the first disc of the Strong Bad Email DVD, but instead, says, "My mouth tastes like... DVDs." He says "My mouth tastes like... backwards" in mini-golf.
